install rom to sd card through recovery - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

any way to do this because i forgot to make a backup and i was installing a theme and it just went into boot loop please help

You have to use adb push command to push it to your SD card, or mount USB storage in recovery to put it there.
Then you can install it.

also i am getting pb311diag errors not sure if you know what that means

Just find a ROM you want to run in the Development forum, download it.
The adb command is a command line that is a part of Android SDK.

You can download the ROM you want to your computer, boot your phone into recovery, mount USB in mounts and storage, and drag and drop your ROM zip file there. Then install it like any other zip.
Make sure to clear all user data which is a factory reset, dalvik too in Advanced menu. Do this before flashing your ROM of choice.

Installing Android & TWRP problem

Hi,
I have a Kindle Fire and I followed your instruction on hhow to install Android.
I have rooted it and installed TWRP but I can not continue because no laptop can see my Kindle in order to copy on it the Android kit. Hence I have only the TWRP interface and I can not do anything.
How can I continue or how can I reinstall the Kindle Fire OS ?
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Vlad

the wifi should work perfectly unless your router has issues or its some strange adhoc thing try power off then back on a couple of times make sure your wifi password is correct select forget network then re-enter the info for your wireless connection... remember to make a backup next time you enter recovery.. if you still have issues try another rom with the same wipes in the same order.... this 1 is pretty nice if you wanna stick with gingerbread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773 just remember to flash gingerbread gapps after the rom full instructions in the op.. but include the ones I gave you

Ok well I will try this... but how can I get back to out of the box kindle fire?
Connect it to the pc, enter recovery, select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system or data if so uncheck them, hit the big mount button hopefully the sdcard contents will pop up on your computer screen. Transfer this rom to the sdcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1439916 not the altrom version that is for dual booting. When finished with the transfer of the rom zip select unmount, then unplug, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install, flash rom zip then select reboot and system if prompted. Pm me if you have difficulty and I will help assist you if more is neccessary. Good luck.

You downloaded it to your kindle or you transferred using mount? If you downloaded it to your kindle it will be located in your download folder if you transferred it then you will need to use twrp to locate where you transferred it to. The . And the .. or up one level allows you to navigate your sdcard contents depending on your version of twrp. External storage is your sdcard so you don't want to wipe this or it will also wipe everything that have moved there.

hey so i got the rom on there like u showed me. now i want to get my kindle back to default. like no twrp no nothing. i want it just like when i took it out of the box. just EVERYTHING normall amazon OS.. no root stuff
I do not recommend it. If you make mistake you will brick it. You can use kfu option 6 for extras obtain latest update.zip then transfer this to your sdcard do a full wipe and flash it in twrp just don't wipe your sdcard. I still don't recommend it. KFU will download it and extract it do not use the extracted update.zip files just use update.zip only. At your own risk of course. For best results wipe factory/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash update.zip and select reboot and system if prompted.

[Q] Having trouble with One X. Can anyone help?

Ok, so for a few months I had been running a rom on my phone (AOKP, I think.) Then the other day it died on me, totally. SD Card, CWM backups, the whole lot. Totally gone.
Anyway, did a bit of raking around and managed to get it restored to stock using the relevant RUU file. Then, instead of learning from my lesson and using backups and so on, I proceeded to install the latest OTA. You can probably see where this is going. So, got the rom installing again when the phone decided to crash again. Now sitting with a phone that will load into fastboot, but which goves me no access to the filesystem. Cant do another RUU update as there is no RUU available that i can see for what I have, which is:-
version-main: 2.17.161.4
and
VODAP001
Had a look at a few other threads but I couldnt see any that was relevant. Any help would be much appreciated.
download this nandroid backup
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5rart6rb2jsi5yx/Vodafone UK 2.17 VODAP001 2012-12-10.16.53.18.zip
unzip it looking like this on the phone sdcard
clockworkmod\backup\*time and date folder*\*the backup files*
time and date folder should be inside the zip (or whatever its packed with)
you can enter the bootloader, from there to the recovery ? mount inside the recovery the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy over the backup
copy the boot.img file from the backup to your fastboot folder and flash it. then perform a full wipe inside the recovery (except sdcard) and restore the nandroid backup
then you flash back this recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbav46spkbznovp/stock recovery 2.17.img
and you can start updating the phone to JB again. use the manually update in settings - about - softwareupdates
Excellent, thanks.
The other problem I have is since this happens, explorer no longer picks up the phone when I connect it and I have no idea why.
You mean when you mount it inside the recovery ?
I've obviously gotten myself so wound up trying to sort this I'm missing something obvious.
No, when I plug the phone in via USB it only detects it as a removable drive, but then doesn't open, instead prompts me to insert a disk into the removable drive. Must be a problem with the internal SD card as I've installed the HTC syns programme so I'm guessing the drivers should be up to date.
Ok, so I can still access CWM via the recovery, Ive mounted all the drives I can see via the mount options in there. Now I get two drives in explorer, E: and F:, neither of which I can access.
Don't mount all the drives, only
Mounts & storage - mount as mass storage (the most bottom one)
Then it should pop up. Don't touch any other option
---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------
And deinstall the sync manager and leave the drivers installed
Sorry for wasting your time, starting to feel i should have left well alone.
De-selecting everything other than the above. Now I get "failed to open usb master mode" on the phone and nothing on the pc..
Also, mentally enough, although nothing shows up in explorer now, its in devices and printer as an optical drive..
Hmm reflash the custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
When I go to mount the usb storage i click it, the only options i get are unmount and go back.
Yes and if you see that the drive should come up on the pc ... if you go back or tap unmount it closes/unmounts the sdcard as a mass storage device
Ok, so got the files in a row. Did the boot flash, restored the nandroid but when i go to flash the restore doing fastboot flasf flash restore recovery.img i get:- FAILED (remote not allowed). Any ideas?
Scratch that. Rebooted an all fine. OTA installed fine as well.
Thank you so much for your help.
Nice

[Q] gt18160- adb pull sdcard file permission problem!

Hello lovely android people,
I am a newbie, so im guessing this probably isnt the right place to post this type of question. Please feel free to guide me to the right place.
So the question...
I rooted my galaxy ace2 (gt18160) and install Pimp My Rom app from the market. Did some changes with it and now the phone wont start up, stuck in the bootloop where the logo appears and it does not go anywhere from there.
Ive been researching for solution since yesterday, and found out that I could re-flash the firmware using o2 stock using odin.(although im not quite sure this is a correct solution)
Since there's a possibility of all the data getting deleted, I want to get some files out of the device using ADB pull.
I used adb shell to look for the files I need. At first I could see the sdcard in the root directory / but could not access it without su. After doing su command I can go inside the sdcard directory (where my files are), but it appears to be empty.
ls -l /mnt lists the sdcard with unusual d--------- permission.
Im stuck and dont know how I can grab my files from the sdcard folder.
any suggestion will help.:cyclops:
Thanks
mnt/sdcard is only a symlink to storage/sdcard0 (mount for the internal sdcard) so it does make sense that adb can't cope with that path.
Still, it is impossibibble to delete stuff from either of your sdcards via odin or recovery. Flashing via odin doesn't wipe the data partition either, so as ong as u select the right firmware for our phones, nothing can go wrong really
Thanks for your reply Carpe-Dimi.
after checking /prop.partiitons, it seems that sdcard hasnt been mounted.
The problem now is that there are 18 partitions and I dont know which is the sdcard?
I tried mounting the first mmcblk0. Give me the 'device or resource busy' error.
Excuse my arrogance but I would have liked to find out why I cant access the sdcard or why I cant mount the partitions.
...and thanks again for letting me know that flashing does not wipe the data. :good:
SOLVED!
As Dimi said, flashing does not wipe data partition. But I was able to recover my files in recovery mode as it automatically mounted the mmcblk0p8 partition.
Then installed stock firmware.... tried new jelly bean, then went back to stock as its slow and laggy.
Cheers

I unlocked bootloader with windroid tool. Then I flashes twrp. Then this being my first time messing with an android in years I went and just grabbed the first rom I thought I could use, do to the fact that I had done no backup no nandroid anything so I flashed a rom and after it did it every time I tries to flash different rom because it said the rom I did first failed. So everytime I tries to do anything else with windroid it says there is a log file in the logs folder. Send this to windycity's forum so it can be tAken care of. But I couldn't find this file or where to submit the file so I thought if I just reset the phone back to factory I could restart. And after resetting it multiple times it still said, there is a log file in the logs folder send this to Windy City. So since I do still have the twrp tool that I can use I went in there and found that it has to rm -f delete everything Linux code so I did that. And since I've done that all I can do is get to bootloader and twrp. But the so is deleted. So basically nothing works. I can't figure out how to get the sd to mount or it won't mount for whAtever reason. And since the phone is wiped it won't enable USB debugging to connect to computer. I can get it to start to enable and connect for a second but not long enough for it to do anything. And I believe it's a htc evo 4g sprint. So that's the situation. The next thing I was gunn try was to go buy a mini sd card reader so I can mount it to computer and then put the rom in there. This **** is so confusing and ridiculous. I mean I can jailbreak an apple device no problem. But holy mother of God androids are the most insanely retarded phones to root. Drivers, adb, sdk...... Anyways if u can help let me know because there's a million roms and kernels out there and I don't know what build to use and how to set it up and the whole kernel process sounds confusing.
Do this. Go to the link below. Look at the second post. Go to the "Current Release" section and download either the stock rooted odex or deodex ROM, doesn't matter. Put the ROM zip on your external SD card. You can do this with the mount option in TWRP (select the mount option then select your external SD card from the menu. You should then be able to transfer the ROM zip from your computer directly to your phone), or just use a card reader to transfer the file from your computer to your SD card, then put the card back into your phone. Boot into TWRP and go to the wipe menu. Do a wipe of system, data, Dalvik & cache. Once you've done this, go to the install option, then locate the ROM zip you placed on your SD card. Flash the ROM. Once the install completes, reboot the phone. The first boot will take a few minutes so be patient. Afterwards the phone should boot to the OS.

Also, USB debugging is only useful when the phone is actually booted to the OS. It doesn't matter that it isn't enabled for your particular dilemma. If all else fails, shoot me a PM and I may have something else that can get you up and running.
